I love sus
I want to get my sister a digital camera for her birthday. I don't know much about them. What is good as far as mega pixels, memory and price and suggestions on a model? I'm not looking to spend a fortune.
Answer
About $200 is about the minimum that you'll need to spend for a decent, current model digital camera. This doesn't include the memory card- which would be another $40 for a nice 1Gbyte card.
There are a number of really fine products from a number of vendors. Canon, Sony, Panasonic, Fuji are, in my opinion, leading the quality game. Although there are fine products from Kodak, Pentax, Olympus, Nikon and a few others as well. Stick with the name brands! However- each of these companies produce better and worse cameras.
I'd go for one of the compact digicams these days. Their image quality is getting excellent and they're getting faster to use.
Canon and Sony make great little cameras- but they are pricey! you pay for the name and there are high quality cameras from some other mfgs.
Canon does make a lower priced line that isn't too bad. Their A series has some nice models. the A530 is under $200 at some on line retailers, and isn't a bad camera. But a few cuter ones are as follows:
The Panasonic FX01 ($240 at buydig.com) or newer FX07 ($300) have a wider 28mm lens and image stabilization built in- which are both terrific features.
I like the Fuji F30 ($310), or lower priced but every bit as good F20 ($218 at buydig.com). they are the ONLY compact digicams that work well in low light, such as indoors. Both have outstanding battery life and are very quick to start up and focus.

Digital camera?

I'm in the market for a new digital camera and with so many brands and selections i'm torn. What is the best brand of digital camera to buy? Do you have a sugestion on a particular model? I really want 8 mega-pixels or better at a reasonable price.
Answer
Kodaks are all right, but there are much better cameras out there, IMO. A lot of their cameras are extremely slow and the pictures are horrible.
My favorite brands are Canon, Panasonic, and Sony (and Nikon for DSLRs).
A great all-around camera is the Canon A720 IS. It's really nice, and it has full manual control in case you want to start learning more about photography. The image stabilization helps too.
Another camera that is really good is the Panasonic FX30. You can find it for around $170. It has a wide 28mm lens (that means the lens can zoom out more than normal). It is also very small, and it also has image stabilization. While it doesn't have manual control, it's still a great option if you just want to take good pictures.
Whatever you do, I wouldn't buy a camera just based on megapixels. While more megapixels will make you be able to print larger, it can actually degrade the image quality when camera manufacturers don't make the sensor larger.
An example of this is in the Fujifilm F30/31fd and F50fd.
The F30 and F31fd were 6 megapixel cameras that had a very large sensor compared to the megapixels they had (the sensor was 1/1.6"). This made the low light shots very good, because normally in low light when cameras boost the light sensitivity, there is a lot of noise. However, when the sensor is larger, the image is not as noisy.
Fuji eventually came out with a replacement, the F50fd. This camera was 12 megapixels, but still the same 1/1.6" sensor. Because of this, the images were a lot more noisy at higher ISOs.
Another thing you want is true optical image stabilization. (digital image stabilization just fakes it). It really helps camera shake and it will allow for better low light shots without the flash.
